Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

I am once again asking "progressives" not to give Tucker Carlson air. He would smother you if given half a chance.

The WHCD literally shouldn’t exist. The fourth estate holding a party for the public officials they’ve been tasked with holding accountable on behalf of the public? Fucking corrupt as hell.

ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary

FCC chair Brendan Carr, who has threatened to revoke the licenses of broadcast outlets whose Iran war coverage displeases him, plans to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as a guest this Saturday.
The suck-up media will never learn: When you invite fascists to dinner, they devour you.

People attending the WHCD like Jake Tapper and Jonathan Karl have made enormous sums of money off of Trump books or books slagging Democrats. He is their meal ticket.

Brendan Carr literally used his power at the FCC to get Jimmy Kimmel thrown off air. It’s the most direct assault on freedom of speech by the government in decades. He’s been invited to the press’ big DC party.

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Serial Failure Sal Khan Wants to Take Over Higher Education And anyone who cares about human-centered education should hope he fails.

"This vision for a future of postsecondary education is a recipe for mass immiseration and public disempowerment. Imagine a world where Microsoft, Google, McKinsey, et al … get to determine what and how you learn from cradle to retirement."

Tesla Chicago is closed.

Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability.

I am forever saying that if refusal isn't a live option in any decision making process about "AI", then no ethical practice is possible. You've got to be able to stop if the thing is unacceptable.

1. Chasing down human protesters and tasing them, and
2. Chasing down Amazon workers who are late from their breaks and tasing them

Israeli Defense Minister Katz said he wants to do in Lebanon what was done in Rafah.

I've seen firsthand how the Netanyahu government razed Rafah to the ground.

No American taxpayer dollars should be used to support this.
